I take that back, sometimes it can. :-)

I spoke with Lynn Griffin at the BXA about this subject.
She said the only requirement is to fill out this form (I filled
in some of the details):

BEGIN FORM
----------
SUBJECT: ENC NOTIFICATION

SUBMISSION TYPE: ENC
SUBMITTED BY:
SUBMITTED FOR: (company or person exporting the encryption item)
POINT OF CONTACT:
PHONE and/or FAX:
MANUFACTURER: (if relevant)
PRODUCT NAME/MODEL #: Python 2.2
ECCN: 5D002
NOTIFICATION: http://www.python.org
	      http://python.org/ftp/python/2.2/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/dist/src/Modules/rotormodule.c
--------
END FORM

The instructions are available from:  http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/PubAvailEncSourceCodeNofify.html.

The email should be sent to: crypt@bxa.doc.gov.

She also recommended a disclaimer on the website that the software
is exported under US Export laws and can't be exported to the 7-8 countries
or other specifically prohibited individuals.

It seems we should submit this form, but for whom?  PSF?
Who should be the point of contact?

Neal
